The Meaning of “Hai Hui Shan” 海会山的含义

The name Hai Hui Shan (海会山) comes from three Chinese characters:

  • Hai (海) — the sea or ocean

  • Hui (会) — gathering or assembly

  • Shan (山) — mountain

It symbolises a great gathering of people — like waves converging in the ocean and mountains standing together — to do something meaningful: to pursue peace and happiness for all beings. Only when individuals find inner peace can true world peace be achieved, for the world is shaped by the minds of those who live within it.

“Sea Assembly” (海会) is a Buddhist term referring to the vast and boundless gathering of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, assembled together like the great ocean.

As described in the Amitabha Sutra, the “Lotus Pool Sea Assembly of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas” depicts the sublime state in which innumerable enlightened beings gather together in one place.

“海会山”由三字组成：

  • 海：象征宽广无边的大海

  • 会：代表众人云集、共修共学

  • 山：象征坚定稳重的高山

寓意着众人齐聚一处，共同为众生的和平与安乐而努力。唯有个人找到内在的宁静，世界才有可能真正实现和平，因为世界由无数众生的心共同创造。

“海会”也是一个佛教术语，意指诸佛菩萨如大海般广大无量地聚集在一起。正如《阿弥陀经》中所说的“莲池海会佛菩萨”，即形容无量佛菩萨齐聚一处的殊胜境界。

Shengchi 圣持师父

Shengchi (Dharma name) is the director of Hai Hui Shan International Foundation (Australia), dedicated to spreading mindfulness and wisdom for lasting inner peace. A former lawyer, Shengchi left the corporate world to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery.

For over a decade, she explored a wide range of spiritual modalities—including Yoga, Hinduism, Sufism, Tantra, and Shamanism. Her journey through these diverse traditions ultimately led her to the path of Amitabha Buddha and Chinese Pure Land Buddhism. 

Since then, she has been deeply immersed in meditation practice, including a transformative three-year stay in Master Renshan’s Pure Land temple, where she studied Buddha’s teachings and the art of mindful living. Passionate about making ancient wisdom accessible, she now shares mindfulness techniques to help individuals integrate clarity and compassion into their daily lives. 

Through her work, Shengchi aspires to touch as many lives as possible, guiding people toward a more harmonious, awakened existence.
